Job 18
La Palabra (Hispanoamérica)

El orden divino acaba con el malvado

18 Bildad de Súaj habló así:

2 ¿Cuándo acabarán con tanto discurso?
Reflexionen primero y hablemos después.
3 ¿Por qué dejarnos tratar como animales?
¿O piensan acaso que carecemos de talento?
4 Tu cólera está acabando contigo,
¿pero quedará por eso deshabitada la tierra
y serán las rocas desencajadas de su sitio?
5 La lámpara del malvado se apaga,
ya no brilla el resplandor de su hogar.
6 La luz de su tienda va menguando,
el candil que lo alumbra se extingue.
7 Pierde fuerza su pie vigoroso,
lo descarrían sus propios proyectos;
8 sus pies lo conducen a la red,
camina por encima de una malla;
9 un lazo le atrapa los tobillos,
un cepo se cierra sobre ellos;
10 un nudo se oculta en el suelo,
una trampa lo aguarda en el camino.
11 Lo rodean terrores espantosos,
lo acosan cuando intenta caminar:
12 la Desgracia lo persigue hambrienta,
el Desastre espera su traspiés;
13 la Enfermedad devora su piel,
la Muerte corroe sus miembros.
14 Arrancado del amparo de su tienda,
lo arrastran ante el Rey de los terrores.
15 El fuego se instala en su tienda,
esparcen azufre en su morada;
16 por abajo se pudren sus raíces,
por arriba se secan sus ramas;
17 su memoria se borra en el país,
se queda sin nombre en la comarca.
18 Lo llevan de la luz a las tinieblas,
acaba expulsado del mundo,
19 sin familia ni prole entre los suyos,
sin nadie que ocupe su terruño.
20 Su destino espanta al Occidente,
el terror atenaza a los de Oriente.
21 Así acaba la morada del malvado,
el lugar de quien no reconoce a Dios.

New International Version

Bildad

18 Then Bildad the Shuhite(A) replied:

2 “When will you end these speeches?(B)
    Be sensible, and then we can talk.
3 Why are we regarded as cattle(C)
    and considered stupid in your sight?(D)
4 You who tear yourself(E) to pieces in your anger,(F)
    is the earth to be abandoned for your sake?
    Or must the rocks be moved from their place?(G)

5 “The lamp of a wicked man is snuffed out;(H)
    the flame of his fire stops burning.(I)
6 The light in his tent(J) becomes dark;(K)
    the lamp beside him goes out.(L)
7 The vigor(M) of his step is weakened;(N)
    his own schemes(O) throw him down.(P)
8 His feet thrust him into a net;(Q)
    he wanders into its mesh.
9 A trap seizes him by the heel;
    a snare(R) holds him fast.(S)
10 A noose(T) is hidden for him on the ground;
    a trap(U) lies in his path.(V)
11 Terrors(W) startle him on every side(X)
    and dog(Y) his every step.
12 Calamity(Z) is hungry(AA) for him;
    disaster(AB) is ready for him when he falls.(AC)
13 It eats away parts of his skin;(AD)
    death’s firstborn devours his limbs.(AE)
14 He is torn from the security of his tent(AF)
    and marched off to the king(AG) of terrors.(AH)
15 Fire resides[a] in his tent;(AI)
    burning sulfur(AJ) is scattered over his dwelling.
16 His roots dry up below(AK)
    and his branches wither above.(AL)
17 The memory of him perishes from the earth;(AM)
    he has no name(AN) in the land.(AO)
18 He is driven from light into the realm of darkness(AP)
    and is banished(AQ) from the world.(AR)
19 He has no offspring(AS) or descendants(AT) among his people,
    no survivor(AU) where once he lived.(AV)
20 People of the west are appalled(AW) at his fate;(AX)
    those of the east are seized with horror.
21 Surely such is the dwelling(AY) of an evil man;(AZ)
    such is the place(BA) of one who does not know God.”(BB)

Bildad Speaks of the Downfall of the Wicked

18 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,

2 “How long until you put an end to your words?
Show understanding and then we can talk.
3 Why are we (A)regarded as beasts,
As dense in your eyes?
4 O [a]you who tear yourself in your anger—
For your sake is the earth to be forsaken,
Or the rock to be moved from its place?

5 “Indeed, the (B)light of the wicked goes out,
And the [b]flame of his fire gives no light.
6 The light in his tent is (C)darkened,
And his lamp goes out above him.
7 His [c]vigorous stride is shortened,
And his (D)own counsel brings him down.
8 For he is (E)thrown into the net by his own feet,
And he steps on the netting.
9 A snare seizes him by the heel,
And a device snaps shut on him.
10 A rope for him is hidden in the ground,
And a trap for him on the path.
11 All around (F)terrors frighten him,
And (G)harass him at every step.
12 His vigor is (H)famished,
And disaster is ready at his side.
13 The firstborn of death eats parts of his skin;
It (I)eats parts of him.
14 He is (J)torn from [d]the security of his tent,
And [e]they march him in step before the king of (K)terrors.
15 [f]There dwells in his tent nothing of his;
(L)Brimstone is scattered on his abode.
16 His (M)roots are dried below,
And his (N)branch is cut off above.
17 (O)Memory of him perishes from the earth,
And he has no name abroad.
18 [g]He is driven from light (P)into darkness,
And (Q)chased from the inhabited world.
19 He has neither (R)offspring nor posterity among his people,
Nor any survivor where he sojourned.
20 Those [h]in the west are appalled at (S)his [i]fate,
And those [j]in the east are seized with horror.
21 Surely such are the (T)dwellings of the unjust,
And this is the place of him who does not know God.”

Bildad: The Wicked Are Punished

18 Then (A)Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:

2 “How long till you put an end to words?
Gain understanding, and afterward we will speak.
3 Why are we counted (B)as beasts,
And regarded as stupid in your sight?
4 (C)You[a] who tear yourself in anger,
Shall the earth be forsaken for you?
Or shall the rock be removed from its place?

5 “The(D) light of the wicked indeed goes out,
And the flame of his fire does not shine.
6 The light is dark in his tent,
(E)And his lamp beside him is put out.
7 The steps of his strength are shortened,
And (F)his own counsel casts him down.
8 For (G)he is cast into a net by his own feet,
And he walks into a snare.
9 The net takes him by the heel,
And (H)a snare lays hold of him.
10 A noose is hidden for him on the ground,
And a trap for him in the road.
11 (I)Terrors frighten him on every side,
And drive him to his feet.
12 His strength is starved,
And (J)destruction is ready at his side.
13 It devours patches of his skin;
The firstborn of death devours his [b]limbs.
14 He is uprooted from (K)the shelter of his tent,
And they parade him before the king of terrors.
15 They dwell in his tent who are none of his;
Brimstone is scattered on his dwelling.
16 (L)His roots are dried out below,
And his branch withers above.
17 (M)The memory of him perishes from the earth,
And he has no name [c]among the renowned.
18 [d]He is driven from light into darkness,
And chased out of the world.
19 (N)He has neither son nor posterity among his people,
Nor any remaining in his dwellings.
20 Those [e]in the west are astonished (O)at his day,
As those [f]in the east are frightened.
21 Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked,
And this is the place of him who (P)does not know God.”
